David's Images of the Day Photoblog
After returning from the Sourland Mountain Preserve, I did a quick walkabout in my backyard. I saw a number of different birds. Female Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay, White-breasted Nuthatch, Downy Woodpecker, Red-bellied Woodpecker, and Turkey Vulture. Later in the afternoon I looked out my back door and saw a Red-tailed Hawk perched in a tree.
There have been a number of comments in the local neighborhood site about the lack of birds at bird feeders this winter. I am still seeing some, maybe not as many as last year. It has been warmer, so maybe some of the birds are finding other sources of food. Today, the following birds have been feeding on my patio and at my bird feeder: Dark-eyed Junco, Black-headed Chickadee, House Finch, House Wren, Mourning Dove, and Northern Cardinal. The House Finch appears to be blind in one eye.
